Every hour counts when something goes missing. Getting your report into the system right away gives local found item posts and shelter arrivals time to match with your description. Once it's submitted, the search continues automatically.
Report my lost item →Losing something in Nicholasville means checking multiple places: the police department on North Main Street, Bluegrass RIDE if it happened on a bus, the airport if you traveled, and scattered Facebook groups. It's time consuming, and the longer you wait, the harder it gets to reconnect with what you've lost.
ReportLost simplifies the process. One report, sent once, reaches all the right local channels at once. Better yet, your report doesn't stop searching after you file it.
